Minnesota Yacht Club Festival (20 July 2024)

vusleeper July 21, 2024

The second day of the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival had even more attendees. We were also better prepared, bringing an extra battery pack for the iPhone (my phone died on Friday with heavy use throughout the day) and an empty bottle to take advantage of the hydrostations. Free parking was at the usually spot, and it was a nice day for walking to Harriet Island. Crossed over the bridge and entered the gates at 1pm, expecting to hear music already.

Summer Songs of Nostalgia for an Oakland Weekender

Robin Lapid June 10, 2024

Summer in June is lovely in theory, but every true Bay Area local knows that our mercurial microclimates beckon us east this time of year, away from San Francisco’s gloomy June and through the BART tunnel, surfacing in Oakland for snatches of sunshine. The same holds true not just for the weather but for lovers of indie pop. As art lovers and party people packed Uptown’s Telegraph Avenue for the First Friday art scene, music scenesters packed Thee Stork Club on Friday for night 2 of Oakland Weekender, the yearly music festival. “Festival” may seem like a stretch, as it all takes place in the cozy, dive-y environs of just the one bar, but the stellar lineup did make the weekend feel and sound larger than life. From the lo-fi, ‘90s pop nostalgia of Santa Cruz’s #Poundsign# to the honeyed, atmospheric melodies of San Francisco’s Seablite, the Weekender’s Friday night lineup had music fans basking in the sounds of an indie-pop summer. It was the kind of indie pop night where lyrics and words took a backseat to music, mood, and sound.
